- Musicians Kelsea Ballerini and MacKenzie Porter attended the CMA Awards on Wednesday night.
- Both stars walked the red carpet in the same Balenciaga gown, which retails for $3,550.
When the Country Music Association Awards were held in Nashville, Tennessee, this year, two musicians arrived wearing the same outfit.
Kelsea Ballerini and MacKenzie Porter walked the red carpet on Wednesday night in matching Balenciaga gowns.
The form-fitting dress they both wore, called the Swimsuit Gown, is blue with long sleeves, a back cutout, and a floor-length skirt that extends into a train. It retails for $3,550.
Ballerini paired her dress with see-through heels, matching gloves, and a straight hairstyle, while Porter opted for loose waves, a blue clutch, and no gloves.
Porter wore the Balenciaga gown throughout the night, but Ballerini eventually changed into two other outfits.
While onstage performing with Kelly Clarkson and Carly Pearce, Ballerini wore a strapless minidress made from denim and thigh-high boots with a floral print.
At another point during the ceremony, she wore a lime-green gown with floor-length cape sleeves and a torso cutout that revealed her waist and back.
Though Ballerini and Porter are the latest stars to wear Balenciaga's design, the dress first became famous when Kim Kardashian wore it to the 2022 Vanity Fair Oscar party in March.
Kardashian is also responsible for elevating Balenciaga's other form-fitting designs — including the designer's faceless jumpsuit that she wore to the 2021 Met Gala — to mainstream fashion.
